KINSHASA, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO APRIL 23: An unidentified boy dressed up to attend Sikatenda church on April 23, 2006 in central Kinshasa, Congo, DRC. The church is one of the most popular in Kinshasa and thousands off people attend it every Sunday. Many have to sit outside as the church fills up quickly. Kinshasa, a city of about eight million people is battling with bad infrastructure and no public transport. Congo, DRC is in ruins after forty years of mismanagement by the corrupt dictator and former president Mobuto Sese Seko. He fled the country in 1997 and a civil war started. The country is planning to hold general elections by July 2006, the first democratic elections in forty years.(Photo by Per-Anders Pettersson)
